Promotional fluff created by a local university to create a "rivalry" between the two college teams when there isn't one according to media. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NRIVALRY. Delete Secret account 22:19, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. The article itself points out that this rivalry does not actually exist. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 21:47, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable college rivalry. Does not satisfy applicable guidelines with significant coverage as a rivalry in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:NRIVALRY and WP:GNG. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 03:10, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete in time, this may become a significant rivalry. Right now, it isn't. Mellowed Fillmore ( talk) 18:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Even the sources cited in the article confirm that the "Dam Cup" was created as a marketing ploy by the school's athletic departments in 2010. Ref 1 puts it well: "nothing spells 'artificial rivalry' like 'inventing a trophy that holds no significance.'" Fails WP:GNG and WP:NRIVALRY due to lack of coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
